I remember you, too. And your son. It was an absolute honor to spend time with you both in Georgia, and I'm so glad to reconnect with you. I'm similar in that I love the idea of homesteading, but honestly I don't have the interest in growing all my own food — I think I want to live on a farm but have other people do the actual farming. lol! Instead, I live in the country where I can walk across the street to get eggs from my neighbour and get meat from a local rancher. Town is only 30 min away, but if something happens, our community steps up. I'm glad you've found some people who will help if you need it, but love that resilience of having gone through so much that you can take care of yourself.

Thank you so much for the kind words about my accomplishments as an author! Your interest in the game is most welcome. I think it would be very cool to have something similar that can tie into crypto. Feel free to DM me in Discord if you want to chat about that.

I seem to have an affinity to outlaws. Most of my favorite characters—ones I've written and those I enjoy in books and shows/movies—tend to be the ones who break rules or ignore them entirely. I root for the rebels, and write them into my stories. I'll be here cheering you on as you live your outlaw lifestyle in the wilds. 💖
